CSS - Help Formatting A List
Hi,
Can anyone please help with formatting a list? In the simple list below, I would like; 1) The main list items should always be positioned at top 0px, left 90px of it's container (done) 2) Nested list items should be hidden (done) 3) The nested item that belongs to the "selected" list item, should be visible (done) 4) The nested item that belongs to the "selected" list item, should always be positioned at top 0, left 0 (I can't do this) 5) The main list items should be on top of the visible sub item (I can't do this, the sub item is always on top) Many thanks for any pointers, Cheers, Mark Code:

Similar TutorialsI have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code:
#cellid {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid ul {
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid li {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif);
}
The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian Seems like most people use unordered lists for menus. Code: <ul> <li>menu1</li> <li>menu2</li> <li>menu3</li> </ul> Others use definition lists. They claim it is less buggy with IE. Code: <dl> <dt>menu1</dt> <dt>menu2</dt> <dt>menu3</dt> </dl> Any thoughts on whether unordered lists or definition lists are best? Also, I sometimes see the menu text surrounded by a SPAN tag. I believe this has to do with only being able to assign one attribute to an element, but am uncertain. Can anyone help explain? Also, if I want a single HTML to work with various CSS, is it a good idea to always include the SPAN tag? Code: <ul> <li><span>menu1</span></li> <li><span>menu2</span></li> <li><span>menu3</span></li> </ul> Thanks Hi, Have an unordered list which I use as a menu. I have set the list-style-type property to none because I don't want any bullets or anything. When I look at the menu within a bordered div, it seems like there is a margin to the left of the <ul>. Eventhough there are no bullets in the <ul>, the <li> are still placed at the same location from the left. How can I left adjust the unordered list so that there are no visible margin at the left side? /Hubba Bubba Hi I have a vertical menu containing main and subcategories. subcats are hidden, when a main cat is clicked then subcats are displayed, all is done with css no javascript. here is the structure, Code:

I am attaching a screenshot to explain the problem, i have given border to the OL to explain the problem. In the screenshot the pink arrow is pointing the place, BEFORE BEDS, where i want to give more space but the child list keeps overlapping rather than pushing the parent list downwards. any help is much appreciated I am really stuck with this. Hi, I have an OL list (the numbered one) and the horz gap between the list item number (as automatically generated by OL) and the text of the LI is too big (according to client). Looks fine in FF but is bigger alright on IE (ahem naturally .....) I've played with the CSS for both the OL & LI styles even setting all margins and paddings to 0 but without effect on the gap. Is there any way to style that gap? Code below. Kevin <ol class="most_read"> <li class="most_read_li">Apples</li> <li class="most_read_li">Oranges</li> </ol> .most_read { text-align:left; color:#808080; font-size:10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:normal; margin-left:30px; padding:0px; margin-top:5px; } .most_read_li { margin-bottom:7px; margin-right:7px; } Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS. I have given my CSS and HTML code here Code: #navcontainer
{
width: 200px;
margin-top:150px;
}
#navcontainer ul#navlist
{
width:200px;
clear:left;
text-align:left;
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
list-style:none;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:bold;

#navcontainer ul#navlist li
{
margin-left:0;
padding: 0px;
display: block;
list-style:none;
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}

The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks I am running amuck! know this should be basic, but Firefox and IE both handle the <h1> tags differently: 1) IE seems to put equal whitespace above and below the element 2) Firefox seems to put less whitespace AFTER the <h1> tag. Anyway to smooth this out so it displays close to similiar? My gratitude ahead of time... hi all, need one help from you.. i have to format a div tag which is generated dynamically.. if there are only 4-5 lines consists in that div it works fine, but the lines go out of bound it takes scroll bar overflow:auto; overflow-x:hidden; height:200px; in mozzila it works fine as the scroll bar comes inside the div tag... but in internet explorer .. the scroll bar goes out of the div tag.. can anybody help me... I've run up against a css problem with the homepage on this site under development. In IE8 the right column in the main content area contains an image swapper and the column pushes out beyond the page content area. It displays properly in FF3. I've tried a variety of margin, padding and width changes without success. How do I correct this for all IE and FF browsers? To avoid bloat I have not included the stylesheet here, but it can be viewed in FF. Hi, I need help with formatting a calendar using CSS. Here's a list of the goals I'm trying to achieve: The day numbers are positioned in the top right corner of the cell. The event text is centered both vertically and horizontally within each cell. The day number doesn't affect the centering of the event text (i.e., it's as if it has zero width). I need to be able specify a minimum width and height for the cells. I have a png of the effect I am trying to achieve, but unfortunately I can't post it being a brand-new member. If seeing it would help, let me know and I guess I can PM the url to you. Update: Here's the link to the png: Code: http://tapestryfolkdance.org/images/calendar.png Below is what I've tried. However, the event text is not centered vertically within each cell, and the first couple of events are not centered horizontally in the cell. It is fine if the event text overlaps with the day number. Code:
<html><head><style>
table { text-align: center; border-style: solid; border-width: medium; border-spacing: 0px }
td { border-style: solid; border-width: thin; border-color: black; }
.day {
margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-style: bold;
border-style: solid; border-width: thin; border-spacing: 1px;
font-size: large; color: black;
float: right;
}
td {
text-align: center; color: black; font-size: small; min-width: 60px; min-height: 120px;
vertical-align: top;
}
</style>
</head><body>

Hello all, I'm trying to add digg stories to my site & want to format it with css. Digg says you can use CSS with the class names to customize the display. Havent use css before so I'm lost...if someone could hook me up with this I would sure appeciate it. I would like to be able to format the links and text differently. The code I want to use to add digg is: Code: <script language="JavaScript" src="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/diggjs/front/tech_news/0" type="text/javascript"></script> I'm going to put it in a frame so just on a blank page. Thanx! This appears to be strictly a formatting/style problem. I built a page using validated XHTML Strict and of course, it displays at it should in IE6: http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/formpics/IE---1.gif http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/formpics/IE---2.gif In Opera 8, it displays for the most part, but the table containing the AV/Periphrial radio buttons is shrunk and aligned to the left. Then, when one of the radio buttons are selected, it expands, and the right side of the table appears to be missing. http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f...s/opera---1.gif http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f...s/opera---2.gif Firefox 1.0.4 displays the tables in much the same was as opera, however, the right side is not missing, like in Opera 8. http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f.../firefox--1.gif http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f.../firefox--2.gif Any ideas, guys? I'm stuck. Hi all, I am in the process of writing a news script in php, i want to display the articles in a downward way, using divs.. I am having a problem in IE & firefox where the image flows out of the bounds of the div and overlaps in the following div whereas I actually want the div to contain the image so the next div will start below.. I can fix this in a number of ways in firefox (display: table; not sure if its right but it works), but nothing I try seems to work in IE, is there a correct way of doing this that will worth in both browsers? I have included the red border to demonstrate how it is overlapping over the other div.. Code:

I'm working on a project where the client wants a table of data, and one column of data is money, such as "$1.23". The client would like all the "$" aligned on the left side of the column and all the amounts aligned on the right side. Now I could do something like: Code: <td> <div style="float:left">$</div> <div style="float:right">1.23</div> <td> (Obviously I'd change those to classes.) That works, but it seems sloppy, so many extra divs for a tiny little formatting thing. I could also put the "$" into a background image, but then you lose something if you're using a screen reader. I looked into doing something with :first-letter, but there's no way to say "everything else but the first letter float right" without wrapping the amount in a span or div, which still seems sloppy to me. Is there another way to approach this, CSS or otherwise? Yes, this is actually a CSS question, despite me providing HTML code... I'm at my wit's end with IE. In the code below, "outer" is losing all formatting--background color, border, you name it, it's gone. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="outer" style="width: 410px;"> <div id="left" style="float: left; width: 200px;"><p>stuff</p></div> <div id="right" style="float: right; width: 200px;"><p>stuff</p></div> <div style="clear:both; font-size: 0; height: 0; width: 0;">&nbps;</div> </div> <div id="outer" style="width: 410px;"> My stylesheet is set up just fine (works fine in Firefox), so I assume this is one of those weird float bugs in IE. The thing is, it was rendering fine until I added another <div> in an entirely different location. Yes, it's all formatted correctly and validates XHTML 1.0 strict. Am I missing something, or is a known bug that I can't find documented, or does anyone have a suggestion for an alternate approach? Thanks all! Hey All, I'm trying to make text float to the right, the challenge part of it all is that i need to try and do this using a class that get asigned to the text so i can't really use a DIV or anything to do this. Really what i want is a bunch of text in a text box aligned to the right with a grey background. Anythoughts or ideas? Really in a binde here. Hi, I have changed my test site so I can display an ad and so that each section is separated into different sections, anyway after changing a few things and fixing a few problems I have found that the problem is happening with my #ContentMain except I have no idea how to fix it. Essentially #ContentMain is appearing before it should be (ignoring the formating and appearing behind everything) when it should be appearing directly after <div id="main1"> everything I have tried, I have had no success with. Also as I have separated the gap I had between the top links and the main picture to add in in ad section (no actual css setting for it as everything I have tried hasn't worked) Where as before my editing the content appeared where it was meant to, so any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need me to explain something in more detail let me know. TorqueSRO - Click Me Hi, Really new to this css stuff and i'm sure i'll get a beratting for asking such a simple question but here goes... What i need is a cell with a linked word in it. Initial state is white background with blue text. On rollover i would like the whole cell to turn blue with white text. I'm sure this is simple but just need a point in the right direction. Thanks for any help Tom |
